NOTE: We've guessed that
you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

Yellowish-Red Sunset
resulting from scattering of shorter light wavelengths

As incoming sunlight
passes through a more dense atmosphere,
shorter wavelengths of light (violet and blue) are efficiently
scattered away by particles suspended in the
atmosphere.
This allows predominantly yellow and red wavelengths of light to reach
the observer's eyes,
producing a yellowish-red sunset.
